EXHIBITION THE THRESHOLD IS A PRISM
SOUTHNORD X KULTURHUSET
STOCKHOLM OCTOBER 2023 - JANUARY 2024
This film installation has been shown exclusively in Stockholm during the SOUTHNORD X KULTURHUSET triennial “ The THRESHOLD IS A PRISM” . This art is an exploration of black women mental health. It questions the life journey of many black women through my life experience and the experience of generations of black women before me.
During 7 min, the film itself challenges the enduring myth of the “Strong Black Woman”, exploring its impact on the mental health of generations of Black women and questioning the transmission of this trauma.. Through striking imagery and a moving sound design by the artist T.I.E., the art piece raises awareness and sparks a vital conversation about the mental health struggles faced by this group of women.
A Glimpse into “Vague à l‘âme Visual Poetry “
“DISSONANCE
In matters of my well-being, I navigate the space between White Queens and Ebony Kings. My essence is anchored at the intersection of discrimination. My mental health is my ally, my name is Black woman!

“AFTER THE CURSE
In the depths of my being, I shatter the curse / In the shadow of the ‘strong black woman,’ I stand.
I redefine my space, Revealing depths within, not seen by the world’s hand.
With the power to break the chains, scripted and rehearsed,
I am the author of my story, the universe in my universe.
”
“CONFLUENCE
In the realm of my emotions, Idance between white Queens and Ebony Kings, At the crossroads of prejudice I take my place. My mental sanctuary is my guardian, I am the embodiment of a Black Woman
